<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1559609, member: 26302&quot;]Well I believe that most &quot;experts&quot; who would help an active counterfeiting ring are not nearly as expert as those authenticators inside the TPG firms. Plus, the firms also probably have some tests they don&#039;t even reveal to the general public. </p><p><br /></p><p>Wait around here and you will see I am not a big supporter of TPGers, in fact I catch a lot of heat here on occasions for this fact. However, I do believe they do a great job authenticating US coins, and I support them in this aspect of their business model. I have met some, and even know some of them before they became TPG graders. I have the utmost respect of their knowledge, and believe it is much higher than any troll who would willingly help a counterfeiting ring. </p><p><br /></p><p>Remember, the Omega coins were excellent, it was only the work of a TPG grader who thought something wasn&#039;t &quot;quite right&quot; that caught them. There simply is no substitute for seeing thousands of coins a day to get your skills to the razor&#039;s edge. This is why I would object to TPGers telling EXACTLY everything that is wrong with a fake, since it would allow them to fool the TPGers.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion. Btw, feel free to disagree at will. I love a good debate. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
